China to invest 30 billion USD in Haiti

[G-Zeus]

Of course they would. And you have idiots in this thread[who aren't even Haitian at that] trying to lecture us that the Chinese are just like the West.

They would be because it could bring other parties in the midst for the power struggle..and if China does what they did with Vancouver here in Canada.. raise housing prices through the roof.. augmenting salaries..yet creating a crapload of jobs... .. rendering rich people.. less rich..

 

[Blackout]

This all depends on how Haitians handle this

Make it to where both benefit or let them take over and lose power over your land. It's all up to them.

Some potential drawbacks from this deal if it's not managed properly by the Haitian government :

1) cheep Chinese goods being dumped on Haiti could destroy local industries/businesses. The Chinese would want to access the Haitian market and remove tariffs on Chinese goods.

2) Chinese will probably demand access to prime farm land and export the produce to China so they can feed their growing population. Not a good idea for an impoverished Nation like Haiti.

3) importing Chinese workers to work on the construction projects, who then could stay on and establish a new class of merchants in Haiti. They'd also be necessary for maintaining/servicing these projects, which could create a dependency on China for decades to come.

These negative effects could be somewhat mitigated if the Haitian Government is competent and negotiates a favorable deal.

Either way, you're going to have to accept that trade-offs are going to have to be made. No deal is going to be 100% ideal. The Haitians need to leverage their resources/access to Haiti as much as possible.

I'M FULL HAITIAN MOTHERfukkER.

OF COURSE SINCE YOU'RE HALFIE YOU HAVE NO ACTUAL INVESTED CONCERN FOR THE REALITY OF EXPLOITATION.


"b--b-b-b-b-b--b-but that's only if the Haitian government allows them..."


SO GUESS WHAT''S GONNA HAPPEN, THEN?


I CAN TELL YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY HAITIAN BECAUSE YOU WOULD KNOw THE ANSWER.

lol... Now you're Haitian all of sudden when before you said you were African. Yes dumbass its up to the Haitian government. China is not pointing a gun at Haiti's head[not like how the West did]. Its up to the Haitian government with how they do this deal.

And stop with the cap locks. It makes you look even more retarded.

Any real Haitian who read my post gets the reference. If you're in the diaspora...members of your own family will joke and make fun of you all day for not being a real Haitian and not being able to speak Kreyol well, it's an inside joke.

Thanks for the comic relief though.. As the world turns and people are making moves....you'll see that everybody else is playing to win..some of us are just playing.

Never trusted that poster. Hell just look at his avi. Again I need to know what @ZoeGod @loyola llothta @Meh think...

Pay no attention to them.

On another note.. I can only wonder what the DOMINICAN government and business sector are thinking

1.4 BILLION in trade could disappear in the blink of an eye if this deal comes into fruition.......

I just started posting here. I like fun n games as much as anybody, but this is a serious topic. Some are incapable of holding an adult conversation, so they type silly stuff. They're not clowns because they want to be, they're clowns because they have to be. Glad the ignore function on this forum works,though.


I don't think a person has to be from a certain culture/nationality to have an informed opinion about a topic related to it. I mentioned that I was Haitian because I knew that I was gonna keep it 100 in this thread and go in on the shortcomings of Haitian govt.

Any actual Haitian[heck anyone who's been following Haitian news] knows the Haitian govt has the most influence on how this deal goes down.

Honestly it could be good for Haiti. Just depends on how China sets up the deal.

Several brehs in this thread laughed off the hyper-nationalist rhetoric being spewed by right-wingers all through last years' US election; then they get shocked when other superpowers make moves like this.

If China plays their cards right, they'll have a Chinese military base in the US's backyard, and the US is gonna have to hit the

That's where the concern may come from. Same govt. officials that collectively have let the Haitian people down for several decades? You can see why people are concerned about the terms of the deal.

Again, I think making the deal is a better alternative than not. Same govt that didn't enforce building codes pre earthquake and still has complete areas in ruin seven years later, doesn't have any leverage in dealing with the Chinese.
Gonna be up to the educated Haitians in the country and abroad to take advantage of the deal in way that benefit the people.

Indeed.

We're going to have to wait and see. The Caribbean is not like Africa where there is a preponderance of natural resources so foreign investment is necessary. Those who actually travel the Caribbean know that attitudes towards the Chinese vary greatly.

A potential Chinese military base could be part of it.
